Thanks To Our Staff It ' s possible to spend four full years at Great Valley and never learn the names of some of the people who really make it run efficiently. How many students know the names of the secretaries who keep every- thing in order, the janitors who keep everything clean, and the cafeteria workers who feed the hungry masses? These dedica- ted servants who are never in the spotlight deserve much ap- preciation and many grateful thanks. Who really runs Great Valley? Anyone in the know knows that it ' s not Dr. Esbrandt or Mr. Kase. It ' s Mrs. Garri- son. This capable sec- retary can answer just about every question about just about everything. Brian: as we usually see him. Mrs. Meledy doesn ' t look like she believes Kathy Nolan is really sick. Dom is always helpfvil. Mrs. Jackson is an attendence secretary. Mrs. Price and Mrs. Kehr prepare lunch. 118 Academics

Boys And Girls Get Together For Gym Continuing witli the co-ed- ucational classes instituted last year, G. V. ' s physical ed- ucation program is very suc- cessful. It provides students with an opportunity to parti- cipate in many sports. Through this elective program students have fun in a more relaxed at- mosphere with more student- teacher contact contributing to the learning experience. Gym rounds out our education. Ultimate Frisbee was a new game introduced to upper- classmen this spring. Volleyball- the thrilling sport that people can ' t seem to get enough of (at least, the gym teach- ers can ' t. ) Students can learn the rules, the pla- dng tech- niques, and the form of tennis in gym classes during the fall and spring. Here Lies . . . Responsibility For The District Dr. Dale Tyson is our superintendent. He is at the top of the administrative ladder in the district. The school board is the governing body of the school dis- trict. Their role is vital since they hold final responsibility for all actions within the district. During monthly meetings the community is able to find out what is happening in the school system and also to voice their opinions. Communica- tions between students and school board improved this year through two Meet the School Board Evenings. E li.
